This traditional bamboo whisk is made from a single piece of bamboo carved to precision for finely frothing matcha to perfection.

How to use:

For first time use, we recommend soak your whisk in warm water for 30 seconds to uncurl the prongs. Watch it blossom! 

Scoop your Izu Green matcha into the bowl, pour a 2 oz amount of hot water into the bowl at 80c and move your whisk in a zig-zag or "W" motion rapidly. Slowly add more water as you whisk and the froth begins to form. Vigorous whisking is key to lump free matcha froth.

Tip: Before each use run the whisk under warm water to soften up the prongs for better whisking!

Olivia V. ★★★★★

The carved ridges catch the matcha just right, and after a quick soak in hot water the tines softened up nicely for a smooth, even froth. I’ve used cheaper plastic whisks before, but this single-piece bamboo build feels sturdier and cleans up in seconds.

William S. ★★★★★

Soaked it in warm water before first use like the instructions suggested, and the tines spread out perfectly. Whisking my matcha for the first time felt effortless — the single-piece bamboo carve really does make a difference, with no rough edges at all.

Emma A. ★★★★☆

The tines are carved from one solid piece, which makes it feel sturdier than the flimsy ones I’ve used before. It froths my matcha into a nice, even foam after about twenty seconds of whisking. Just wish the handle was a touch longer for my deep bowls.
